Scottish Ministers appoint members through open competition and they come from a wide range of backgrounds.
The Council works to the six core principles of the International Framework: Good Governance in the Public Sector.
The Council has set up an Audit and Assurance Committee, which meets quarterly, and several other committees, such as the Fitness to Practise Committee and Special Appeals Committee. We also have some formal panels. You can read about our committees, sub-committees and panels here.
You can find out about how the SSSC is run and held to account here.
Our Council meetings are held using Microsoft Teams webinars and anyone can register to join. You can find out when our Council meetings are and register to join on on our events page.
We publish Council and committee meeting minutes and papers for the past two years. You can find them in our publications library. For earlier minutes and papers email audrey.wallace@sssc.uk.com
Our Council Members must follow our Code of Conduct for Members of the SSSC which you can read on our Governance page.
